Editorial Review:Big laughs and hot stars make this a can't-miss comedy in the hilarious tradition of CLUELESS and DUMB AND DUMBER! Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow) are carefree party girls who reinvent themselves for their 10-year high school reunion. With new wardrobes and wild stories of success, they make a big impression ... until a former classmate Janeane Garofalo -- CLAY PIGEONS) blabs their real story to everyone! But that's when Romy and Michele let loose with a surprise of their own ... and outrageous results! Featuring a sizzling hit soundtrack of favorite hits from the '80s, it's the comedy treat The New York Times calls "cheerful, giddy fun!"
Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino play ditzy best friends who decide to attend their 10-year high school reunion, but they completely make over their styles and identities first in order to impress the people who tormented them. The two stars keep the film going despite various lapses and potholes in David Mirkin's direction and despite a sneaking sense that the idea can't sustain the length of an entire feature. A midsection dream sequence underscores the latter problem through blatant padding, but Sorvino and Kudrow--both of whom became established stars playing airheads on other projects--are worth the weaknesses. --Tom Keogh

The title really says it all. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is about two ditzy girls from Tucson, AZ who moved to Los Angeles after high school. When it's time for their 10 year reunion they find themselves single, underemployed and generally unimpressive. They set out to make themselves, and the last 10 years, over to impress everyone at the reunion. Their plan pretty much fails and typical high school rivalries re-ignite in a hilarious chain of events that is quite possibly one of the ... Read More

I'm going to reiterate what a previous reviewer stated and say I absoulutely love this movie. This isn't the end all or be all of high school reunion flicks but a gentle lampooning on the genre. To take it as some profound statement about going home again would do the film a disservice. The soundtrack here is impeccable. Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino, two of the top comediennes of the previous decade, have chemistry to burn. To boot you have Alan Cumming, one of the great British funnymen, as ... Read More

Romy White (Mira Sorvino) and Michele Weinberger (Lisa Kudrow) have been friends since they met at Sagebrush High in Tucson. Since then they both moved to Los Angeles, and they live together, but other than getting out of Tucson they are what might be described as under achievers. Michele is unemployed and Romy works as a cashier in the service department of a Jaguar dealership. They do, however, have flair, style, and share a unique fashion sense.
At the Jaguar dealership Romy recognizes ... Read More

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. My friends and I can quote it word for word! To have all of the songs all together on a cd is awesome! Great Roadtrip CD! If you know the movie, every song takes you back to the scene in the movie and you live it all again!

Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion (1997) Mira Sorvino, Lisa Kudrow
If you hated your years in high school (and I imagine probably everyone but the select few "populars" did...ergo the wide appeal of this film!!) then you will connect with this satiric, wild ride chock-full of witty dialogue & brilliant characterizations.
Before a scant 5 minutes have passed in this film, the scriptwriters get your attention right out of the starting gate with great lines between the title characters ... Read More
